That's all very observable even without all that fMRI equipment.

It is ESPECIALLY noticeable among the "I'm being rational, you're being emotional" crowd.

Yes, but the high-tech gadgetry provides objective, verifiable data. I found the study interesting because it provides some hard data to support what you & I have observed through less verifiable means.

I wasn't intending to knock the study. The point of a lot of important research is to support or refute opinions and judgments people have made through less scholarly means.
